PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the word
somatic
jumped out at me
from a nondescript poem
I found my mind smitten
almost encouraged
in fact
to know more
a gentle scarred
young darling
wrote in angry script
youth filled agitation
that came off as
a day filled with fits
I marvel at the diverse
poets' progeny
so scared and scarred
scratched and torn
anger and discontent
that seemed to be
teeming since
the day they were born
not all poets are
unhappy children
that grow up to be
predictably unhappy
adults
some have lovely
Norman Rockwell lives
and still are
assailed with
deep poetic thoughts
it's all in perception
environment is but
one factor
just because you feel
you were handed a raw deal
doesn't mean
you have to see every aspect
of the world
oh so negatively
for if you look beyond
the surface
you will see
there is beauty in all things
even the ugliest applied
social sting
trust me, on this very fact
I am the living proof
some might even say
it is my so called
'Legacy'.............
